Antonin Svec - The Record Label Guide USA on CD-ROM

This guide is aimed mostly at LP collectors. It concentrates largely on labels of jazz, popular and some classical. The information in this guide represents the work of many years, not just by the author but also by many others. The nature of this reference manual is limited to presenting record LP labels issued originally in the USA. Its purpose is to chronologically list and date the time frame that each significant label and variation was used. To chart the transition of the label changes of any given record company is most important. For a record collector, knowledge of when each label and variation was in active circulation is important in determining whether a given LP is an original or a later issue.
